| The main winegrowing area in Tasmania ... | |||||||||||||||||||
| Pipers River and the Tamar Valley | |||||||||||||||||||
 Both areas are in the north eastern
corner of Tasmania and Pipers River is 35 kilometres north-east of
Launceston and undoubtedly the premier wine producing region in Tasmania, with the Pipers Brook
(pictured) and Heemskerk wineries leading the way.
The cool and cloudy climate and the rich, red soils are well suited to viticulture, especially Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines. The Tamar Valley region is adjacent to Pipers River, closer to Launceston which sits on its banks. Launceston is an attractive city with gracious Victorian buildings,
parks and gardens and it is a busy commercial centre for the surrounding
rich farming areas. Tasmania has a mild maritime climate and the average
maximum summer temperature is 21 degrees C.
